Cub Foods Grocery Bagging Fundraiser

Sunday, November 19

9:00-1:00

If you would like to volunteer for a grocery bagging shift, please email buffalofoodshelfvolunteer@gmail.com

Or do your grocery shopping one of these days and have someone bag your groceries for you!

This is a fun and easy way to help raise money for the food shelf. Get a group together-friends, neighbors, bible study groups, NHS, or co-workers! Our community is very generous- especially when we bag groceries for them!

diaper giveaway

Zion’s Social Ministry Committee’s role is to go beyond the walls of Zion and respond to Zion’s vision of ‘creating a community where people are connected in relationships and supported in need.’ The Blessing Closet has identified another need in our community where it can expand its services to help clothe people in need by providing diapers to children! The lack of a sufficient supply of diapers to keep a baby or toddler clean, dry, and healthy remains a serious issue that impacts both children’s and families physical, mental, and economic well-being.
